I arrived really late that night so I was unable to see the beautiful entrance of the resort that my colleagues had mentioned. When entering the resort it was beautiful, well maintained, modern but reflecting the style of the Southwest and quite frankly how resort should look like. Check-in was ridiculously long. I had already dealt with my flight from the East coast and was ready to go to sleep. It was getting really close to 11pm and I notice that there were 2 people helping to check Platinum guests in. There were about 8 of us just waiting to get checked in and I was getting really annoyed considering it was approaching 1AM EST and I had been standing in line for over 15 minutes. I finally got checked in and went to my room. The room was beautiful and there was great attention to detail. The view and the balcony was very nice. My only issue was that the shower was too small for a room with so much real estate. I was unable to get my platinum upgrade so I assume that the showers in the suites are much bigger. I didn't get any room service so I can't comment on that. I really enjoyed myself while I was there and think this would be a great place to come back out for a mini vacation. The location is perfect for those who love to shop. There is a mall with some restaurants within walking distance but due to the heat, and the location of some other mall areas I'm sure you'd want to have a car. Bring your purse every where you go even if you tell yourself that you won't buy anything. I told myself that I wasn't going to buy anything but there were so many shops with unique merchandise and I ended up buying things. Amazing location and certainly will stay there in the future."^^ . . "2013-08-25T00:00:00"^^ .
